Keep them away from each other during meal time. Aside from having different dietary needs, the cat and dog might fight over their food if they eat together. The dog is very possessive when it comes to its food, it might see the cat as a threat if they eat together and attack it.

If your dog has a strong prey drive, make sure to train him of the “leave it” command. This way, you can easily control its chase impulse. It is in the dog’s nature to chase and catch smaller animals for food. This is something that they do on an instinct. The prey drive of dogs will always have the tendency to be triggered. If you are able to train him to stop chasing something once you give the command, then it wouldn’t be a problem.
